Dashcam video obtained by News4 shows the National Mall shooting Monday involving Secret Service officers. The Secret Service said a Texas man fired toward officers, who returned fire and hit him multiple times. A teen bystander was hit by the suspect’s gunfire and suffered a graze wound, authorities said.

Gunshots can be heard in the video as drivers sit in traffic near Independence Avenue and 15th Street SW, just southeast of the Washington Monument. A man can be seen falling to the ground.

“Whoa! Whoa! Whoa!” someone shouts.

Police identified the man shot and wounded by the Secret Service as Michael Marx, 45. Video shows him being put on a stretcher and loaded into an ambulance.

Investigators are still trying to figure out a motive and if Marx had a political target. The shooting occurred at about 3:30 p.m. Monday, moments after Vice President JD Vance’s motorcade passed through the area.

The original Marx died of bronchitis. If this one keeps going it will be suicide by cop.

The judge in this case needs to make an example out of this guy and not be so concerned with whether or not his bowel movements are healthy.
